The Rangers have won five of their last six games, with all five wins coming off strong efforts. The one game in the middle is the one that broke many, the Tampa game, but it appears that was the blip and not the five wins in six games. But now the NHL's best team comes to MSG for a matinee matchup.

New York City is endlessly photogenic and a recent study has the data to prove it. Covers.com editor-in-chief James Bisson analyzed millions of Instagram posts and confirmed what locals already know. Five of America's twenty most photographed places are right here in the city, more than any other town in the country. While Disneyland and Walt Disney World take the top two spots, Central Park is the number three most photographed place in the country with 8.47 million tagged posts.

A cyclist died on Friday as a result of injuries he sustained from being doored by a driver in Queens on Tuesday evening, police announced on Friday. Cops responded to a 911 call about a crash on Liberty Avenue near 103rd Avenue, within the NYPD's 106th Precinct, at 6:09 p.m. on Tuesday. The NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad found that the cyclist identified as 24-year-old Sahan Ahmed was biking westbound on Liberty Avenue.

A good line to borrow for the agents now selling some of the 372 condominiums on the upper floors of the newly reopened Waldorf Astoria Residences. What the Waldorf is marketing as the "First-Ever Presidential Library Amenity" is a private bar and club for residents designed by Jean-Louis Deniot that has pale gray and white couches, brassy accents, and built-ins that hold a library curated by the White House Historical Association.

The Daily News first reported that Benjamin Tisch, CEO of Loews Corp., leveled the criticism at Mamdani while speaking at the Met Council's yearly gala, which supports the group's work addressing Jewish poverty. Mamdani has faced a torrent of criticism for his pro-Palestinian positions as well as previous rhetoric deemed anti-Israel or antisemitic, though in recent months, he has sought to dissuade the use of terms such as globalize the intifada.

The plaza includes tables and chairs, bike corrals, and space for community members to host local events. This new permanent plaza reimagines nearly 11,000 square feet of roadway, creating a new community hub. It gives neighbors a place to rest, gather, connect, and celebrate their cultures, outgoing DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said during a Dec. 4 news conference. This plaza is proof of what happens when a city invests in people, in safety, in cultural space, he added.

Fernando Camino, the New York correspondent for the San Francisco Bay Times, was front and center at the 2025 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where he provided a behind-the-scenes look at the float and balloon setups, celebrity guests, performances, and much more. Camino is the creator and host of SuperFriends NYC, which regularly broadcasts live from Times Square, shows live walking tours of New York City, and captures live coverage of cultural events in the Big Apple, including the historic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Orchard Street, the eight-block stretch of the Lower East Side named as Time Out's coolest street in NYC this year, has undergone a host of changes in its history. Often, New York City's street-level history gets forgotten-demolished, paved over and deemed too small to make history books. But one museum is dedicated to remembering the stories of this street and its people .

Remitly evaluated more than 170 major cities based on five metrics: cost of living, commuting congestion, crime, pollution and access to healthcare. And New York landed at the top of the list with a stress score of 7.56 out of 10. The most stress-inducing aspect of NYC for most residents was the cost of living, which is no surprise to anyone who has ever tried to order a burger at a restaurant without a loan. But finances aren't the only pressure. The study also cites long commute times as another major stressor, while crime and public-safety concerns weighed heavily.

New Yorkers may soon hear a new question during their commute-and it will sound a little more Berlin than Bronx: "Can you show me your phone or your OMNY card?" The MTA has announced plans to roll out a "European-style" fare inspection system aboard city buses, replacing NYPD enforcement with civilian agents, in its latest effort to curb fare evasion.

Everyone knows that a proper boiled-then-baked bagel is best enjoyed with a schmear, a layer of lox, or as a sandwich piled with meats and cheeses. Either path leads to a delicious bagel, but it isn't always easy to eat. A Hudson Valley shop, Moonrise Bagels, decided to maximalize the New York bagel experience by stuffing those ingredients into the bread itself.

Christmas in New York City sparkles. Twinkling lights, snowflakes, and energetic crowds are part of the fun. Millions of visitors - and locals like myself - can't get enough of holiday attractions. There's so much to see in New York during Christmas, from the spectacular tree at Rockefeller Center to the precision kicks of the Radio City Rockettes. But the fun and beauty of the season go way beyond that.

Get anything good?I got a Pokémon pack, and I also got Pokémon cards. I got a Charizard and I got a Jolteon VMAX and I got an Incineroar GX.

Kletzky disappeared on the afternoon of July 11, 2011 as he returned home from a school day camp in Borough Park. Police and thousands of volunteers conducted a block-by-block search. Investigators focused in on Aron, then a 35-year-old hardware store clerk, after security video showed Leiby meeting a man outside a dentist's office and getting into his car. Cops identified the man as Aron and went to his apartment on July 13.

A New York City Department of Investigation (DOI) probe has found that a single NYPD officer violated city restrictions on assisting with federal civil immigration enforcement by placing automated alerts on individuals sought by immigration authorities, according to a report released Wednesday. While the broader NYPD generally complies with local sanctuary laws, the DOI report found several gaps that leave the department vulnerable to improper information sharing.

As the curtain closes on the Adams administration, Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez on Tuesday held an invitation-only " State of the Agency " valedictory address that misrepresented the agency's accomplishments, blamed lawmakers and the press for its shortcomings and released a 100-page report that he hopes will land on the next mayor's desk instead of in the circular file under it.

Researchers at Duelbits ranked the 50 most populous U.S. cities across eight factors tied to holiday travel, including traffic time, rush hour delays, accident rates, flight performance, tire trouble, road quality and the chance of snow. New York scored 8.9 out of 10, putting the town firmly in first place. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami round out the unfortunate top five, but New York comes out on top by a full half point.

Seligson's role was that of a journalist. He was embedded in this group. He ended up being indicted on these incredibly serious crimes,

Police are on the hunt for six people responsible for the firebombing of a West Village smoke shop on Wednesday morning. According to police sources, a group of about six men was spotted outside of 131 Christopher St. around 3:11 a.m. on Dec. 3. Cops say they smashed the business's window and tossed an unknown incendiary device into the building. Afterward, the group fled the scene westbound along Christopher Street.

Murder, grand larceny, auto, and burglary dropped, the data show, with murder down 40 percent - from five incidents to three - compared to the same period last year. Murder was down significantly citywide, the NYPD announced on Tuesday, and November 2025 saw the lowest number of killings since the city began keeping crime records. But rape, assault, grand larceny, and robbery all rose in Brooklyn in November.

The pressure to do all the holiday things is in full force this year. Even now, I am in at least three different group chats regarding Christmas light sightings , price checking seats for a Rockettes show and finding the best holiday bar for a bit of cheer. If you, too, are feeling overwhelmed by it all, we've just rounded up a festive lineup of events, from family-friendly ones to whiskey tastings. Even better? It is all going down in one place.

Being furloughed without pay through October and most of November was a nightmare for federal workers across the U.S. But for Emma, who lives in Chelsea with her twin eighth-graders (and asked to use a pseudonym), the break had a silver lining: It gave her the time she needed - though many parents might argue that no amount of time is truly enough - for the singularly painstaking task of applying to New York City's public high schools.

The ritual is simple and extremely New York: head to the Broadway plazas between 45th and 47th Street, grab a colorful slip of paper, write down your 2026 wish and stick it to the wall. Every piece collected in person or online before December 29 gets printed onto real confetti that will be part of the roughly 3,000 pounds released on New Year's Eve. (That's about the weight of a small car, reborn as aspirations, for reference.)

"I'm very plugged into the writer community, I'm friends with a lot of great writers, and wanted to be able to bring those writers into our community," she said. "Whenever you have big book events in the city, they're not at Black bookstores and they're not in Black neighborhoods, so I really wanted to bring that to Bed-Stuy. People should expect all of their writing heroes."

The train was parked just south of the 86th St. station in Fort Hamilton Monday afternoon when a transit worker noticed the lead car was missing the so-called "master controller," sources told the Daily News. A master controller - which on an R160 subway car, like those on an R train, consists of a T-shaped handle on the train operator's right-hand side - controls a subway's acceleration and braking.
